Power of Invisibility
Posted On 05/26/2008 21:10:50 by kellkell

I ceated a poll asking which super power you'd like. Almost half of the 41 people who have taken this poll have chosen invisibility. This is alarming to me.

I first pondered the question as a choice between flight and invisibility that was posed on a radio show. Their final analysis was that people who wanted to do good things chose flight and people who wanted to do sneaky things chose invisibility. So now I'm wondering what all the upstanding people who chose invisibility would do with their powers.

Another interesting thought the show brought up was asking people if they would be a superhero if they had superpowers. Most of them said yes. But one guy said, "No. I don't help people now, and a lot of people with no powers help people already." This was shocking honesty, and made me examine whether I'm helping people.

Am I using the powers I have for good?

Ok: what superpower for me?  I think I'd take omniscience, but it would have to be coupled with the ability to handle it.  To know of all the suffering in the world, especially that of innocent children would be hard to bear, especially if one couldn't do much about it.  Oh, you could call the children protective authorities . . . but then one would be making thousands of calls a day, regrettably.  It would be nice to win the lottery whenever you needed cash, but the church might frown on that.  It would also be nice to know what dirtly little secrets our politicians have, and tip off the media.  (Hee, hee.)  There are two ways to become omniscient, by the way: #1 become a teenager.  Well, I'm beyond that so I have to go with #2: read every worthwhile book you can get your hands on.  It's going to take awhile.
